Linux C program tips

compile object files gcc -c 1.c --> automatically generate 1.o file link object files and generate binary file gcc -o app 1.o 2.o main.o build archives -- static library ar cr libkido.a 1.o 2.o main.o gcc -L . -lkido -o app build shared library gcc -c -fPIC 1.c --> automatically generate 1.o file gcc -shared -fPIC -o libkido.so main.o 1.o 2.o gcc -o app -L . -lkido -Wl,-rpath,./ <-- if rpath is not defined, LD_LIBRARY_PATH need to be defined in environment variable to have the binary locate library file
